Giving Tuesday | December 2nd

💙 Giving Tuesday is almost here — and your library needs you. 💙

As a nonprofit library, a significant portion of our annual funding is dependent on the generosity of our community to keep our doors open, our programs running, and our building safe and welcoming for all.

This year, your support is especially important. We’re currently raising funds to repair our front steps and handicap-accessible ramp — essential improvements that ensure every patron can enter our library with comfort and dignity.

Every gift, no matter the size, strengthens our mission and helps us continue offering free programs, books, resources, and community connection to Hollis and beyond. 📚✨

Join us in welcoming Nathan Prest, Bonny Eagle High School graduate and author of Made for Something Bigger, for a special book signing and community meet-and-greet.

In his moving memoir, Nathan shares his personal journey growing up with ADHD and Autism — a story of perseverance, self-discovery, and finding purpose beyond expectations. This event offers readers of all ages an opportunity to connect with a local author whose message of hope and resilience inspires us all.

Interactive Story Time

Stories, a craft, and a snack!
Mondays at 10:00 am at the Hollis Center Public Library. Ideal for children ages 3-6, accompanied by a parent/guardian.

Story Walk®

Come see our Storywalk®, "Hibernation Station"! Inside our “train station” you’ll learn about how some animals prepare for the winter by hibernating. Then, you can continue reading the story.

We hope you enjoy all the hands-on activities along the way.

The StoryWalk® Project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT and developed in collaboration with the Kellogg-Hubbard Library. Storywalk® is a registered service mark owned by Ms. Ferguson.

*All usage of the Storywalk® mark must comply with these guidelines, and must be limited to use in connection with educational, noncommercial projects consistent with the StoryWalk® Project mission to promote literacy.
